Romantic photos for the two of you without any stress. Gentle tips for authentic and lively shots

Couples & engagement Photographer

This page is all about couples – in love, on a journey, or just enjoying time together. Whether it's your engagement, honeymoon, anniversary, or simply a memory you want to keep – this is for you.

My approach is simple: no pressure, no stiff posing. Just you two, your connection, and the way you are together. We'll walk, laugh, maybe dance a little – and I'll catch the real stuff. The quiet smiles, the closeness, the sparks between you.

The photo shoot is relaxed and personal. We choose the vibe together – city streets, ocean cliffs, quiet nature, or cozy corners. Wherever we go, I'll help you feel at ease, so your photos stay honest, warm, and true to who you are.

About me Dimas Frolov

Dimas Frolov Profile photo (small)

Hey, I'm Dimas, a professional photographer. I have over 17 years of experience in photography, working with couples in different countries and travel destinations.

Today, I focus on couples and engagement sessions in Lisbon, combining long-term professional experience with a fresh, attentive approach to the city.

Working in Lisbon means planning each session carefully, paying close attention to light, timing, and how couples feel in real environments, not studio setups.

Most couples I work with are not models, and my experience allows me to guide them calmly through the session, regardless of location.

Most common questions about photo shoots

I'm based in Lisbon, Portugal, but I travel for shoots – around Lisbon (Sintra, Cascais, Setúbal) and to other cities across Portugal and even abroad in Europe.
It's a mix – mostly light, documentary-style moments blended with guided, staged shots. I give direction when needed, suggest places and actions, then let people live the moment. That's how you get photos that feel real, relaxed, and not forced.

In Lisbon center – sunrise, almost no tourists. Beaches or parks are more flexible; you can shoot almost any time there.

A few helpful articles in my blog:

I offer several packages. One hour usually covers most sessions. For more outfits or wider locations, 1.5 hours is better. Two hours is the most relaxed option with lots of advantages.

Detailed packages you can see here: Rates for photography services.

Light or pastel colors, smart casual. Comfortable shoes are a must. Bring hats, scarves, and sunglasses – small things that change the mood.
One outfit is enough because I focus on you and your connection. If you want variety, keep it to 2–3 max.
That's my job – I guide you with simple actions and light direction so you feel comfortable. The result looks alive and natural.
Yes, if you allow me to publish your photos in my portfolio and on my social media. The discount amount and final price can be found on my pricing page.
I don't hard-cap the number. I deliver almost every good shot and remove only blinks, blurs, and misses. Minimum guarantee: 25 photos in the smallest package; larger packages include a lot more.
Usually within a couple of weeks. Absolute deadline: 3 weeks.
After editing, you will receive an online gallery where you can view your photos on any device, download them in high resolution, and easily share them with friends and family.
Bring a good mood and be on time – I handle the rest. If you have specific poses or angles, save examples on your phone and we'll recreate them.
Nikon Z6 III with a Nikon Z6 II as backup/second body. Both write to two cards simultaneously. Files go to a backed-up drive and then to the cloud during editing. Mostly natural light; flash if needed. Lenses: 35, 50, 85mm primes; 15–30, 70–200 zooms; 90mm macro.
We can try to move the date. As in my cancellation policy, the deposit is kept as a fee for holding the time.

Lisbon loves lovers. So do I Couple Photoshoot in Lisbon

A love story or engagement photo shoot is more than just creating photos; it's a way to show how two people actually feel about each other. Many couples choose Lisbon for this experience because of its warm light, cinematic atmosphere, and unique textures. Whether you're here for a trip or celebrating something special, a couple photoshoot in Lisbon blends natural beauty with heartfelt moments. If you're looking for an engagement photographer in Lisbon, you're already on the right track.

Who Is It For

Couple sessions aren't just for engagements. They're perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, travels together, or even "just because." If you're new to love each other or have been together for years, the camera can show how you two feel. You don't have to be a model or feel comfortable in front of a camera. I work with couples of all ages and levels of expertise. Photos from your honeymoon in Lisbon or an anniversary session will last forever. Couples travel photography is about preserving what you feel, not how you pose.

How the Session Goes

The session is calm, simple, and real. No stiff posing, just natural couple photography based on how you interact. We walk, talk, and laugh. I gently guide you, but most of the time, I just watch the way you connect. A relaxed photo session means no pressure. The goal is to capture candid moments, not performances. Everything is done in soft, natural light that brings out real emotion and mood.

Best Lisbon Photo Locations

Lisbon offers a mix of city charm and nature. Alfama and Graça are old neighborhoods with winding streets and poetic shadows. Senhora do Monte and other Miradouros are great places to see the sunrise and take in the view. For a beach vibe, Praia do Guincho has big waves and clear skies. Portraits with a classic Lisbon feel look great against azulejos, which are brightly colored stones. For something calmer, nearby parks offer a cozy, green setting. If you're wondering where to take engagement photos, I'll help you find the right spot.

What You'll Get

After the shoot, you'll receive a curated gallery of ready-to-share photos. Everything is delivered online in high resolution – easy to view, download, and send to family or friends. These aren't just images – they're emotional couple portraits you'll keep coming back to. Your engagement photo gallery from Lisbon becomes more than a collection. It's a story told through glances, touches, and the city's light.

Photographer's Tips

Keep it simple. Wear something comfortable that reflects your personality. Neutral colors or tones that go well together always work best. The best time for a photo session in Lisbon is early morning or during golden hour before sunset – the light is soft and flattering. If you feel a bit awkward, that's okay. I'll help you ease into it. You don't have to perform – just show up as you are.

Time to Capture Your Story

Cities change, seasons shift, and memories fade – but photos let you hold on to how it felt. A photo session is a way to freeze a piece of your love story, just the way it is right now. Not perfect, not staged – just real. When you look back, it's the small gestures and quiet moments that will matter. Maybe this is your moment to save something beautiful.
